hey motts what light source did you use to get thislightsing. and howlong was your exposure set??

Well, there is a door at the end so I guess it goes somewhere.

What an awesome picture, This would be an excellent wallpaper. Absolutely stunning.

I would call this hallway to nowhere

Awesome shot Motts. In fact the whole gallery is excellent. Keep it up!!!

Looks like this room is in great shape. Almost looks like it could still be used.

this is so very sad...but the mentally ill are usually very difficult to live with...VERY DIFFICULT...so it's sad for many different reasons...

probably because of all of the angles and colors--that's why i like it, anyway...plus, these something about a woodedn staircase with ornamental balustrades.

This is an awesome picture although I can't put my finger on why. Just a really good shot.

Most people who were committed to a state hospital lived there for the rest of their lives. It was common for families to leave a child or family member at an asylum where they didn't have to live with or pay for an 'abnormal' person; someone who might of been frowned upon in the social mentality of that time. Some families cared and visited, some didn't... those that had no where to go died and were buried at the hospital's cemetery. Autopsies were sometimes performed to help find out how diseases and mental problems affect the body and how to treat those cases. Their graves are only marked by a patient number and their religion... so is the end of the loneliest existence to live.

Why do people die in insane asylums?

Yeah there was an open door back there.

I guess the foreman like them, or maybe he was in the Navy.

It hasn't been closed too long, the power had not been cut yet, a few years I suppose. No, I didn't read any of the documents.

Looks to me like there is just an open window behind the colom lighting this one up
